Description Andrew Schorr 2023-08-07 00:55:09 UTC
Description of problem:
After upgrading a system to CentOS Stream 9, I found that blkid hangs indefinitely and cannot be killed with kill -9.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
util-linux-core-2.37.4-11.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. blkid
2.
3.

Actual results:
The command hangs and cannot be killed.

Expected results:
print results and exit.

Additional info:
When I run "strace blkid", it gets this far before hanging:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/block", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC|O_DIRECTORY) = 6
newfstatat(6, "", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=580, ...}, AT_EMPTY_PATH) = 0

newfstatat(6, "251:0", {st_mode=S_IFBLK|0660, st_rdev=makedev(0xfb, 0), ...}, 0) = 0
close(6)                                = 0

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/pktcdvd/pktcdvd0", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC

And ltrace shows this:

blkid_probe_all(0x55e5fb363520, 0x55e5fb363770, 0, 0x7fcb7b93e8bb

I note that this system has a USB cd/dvd drive attached:

[root@ti11 ~]# lsusb | grep -i dvd
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 093b:002c Plextor Corp. DVDR PX-880U USB Device

I'm observing the same problem on another system that also has an identical
USB dvd drive attached.
